Research Watch

More and more research is being conducted with efforts to help increase innovation in every field. I found a news post that informs that carbon nanotubes, which are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure, could be used to help treat strokes and other brain injueries. It is crazy to see how far and quickly technology has advanced. It wasn't too long ago that we were in the dark ages and to have it pick up like this and come so far. There is always a group of people working on the next invention or tool to help make the world a better place. This is shown with the carbon nanotubes to the presentation we had in class. Who would think that technology taps into just about every aspect of life and there is no sign that it is slowing down or fading out.

  1. Research is the key to any innovation anyway in the world today and should be well funded , because that is way technology are made.Take for example when the internet first started , it was a goverment funded research, which led to this internet boom.
